Subject: [DNSOP] Fwd: New Version Notification for

Based on discussion at the interim, this draft is renamed and contains a 
proposal for Privacy Considerations.

Why the draft name change? I thought this looked familiar and then
re-found draft-nottingham-public-resolver-errors. The diff between
that and this is fairly small:

https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-nottingham-public-resolver-errors-02&url2=draft-nottingham-dnsop-censorship-transparency&difftype=--html

My review is more or less unchanged as well.

I still do not like how the IANA registry and browser adoption of
certain lists becomes yet another centralization point in the internet.

Why not use a _prefix within the configured resolver's namespace to
point to the reporting database url prefix? This would be a much better
decentralized method that wouldn't give further centralizing browsers
an additional benefit of "better error reporting".

Why is a filtering ID needed? Doesn't the QNAME already provies a globally
unique identifier? It would make things less depending on filter vendors'
references. It would also prevent abusive IDs that embed javascript or
otherwise try to mislead by adding some identifier in it, eg

id="123      www.malicious.com/why-did-my-dns-get-filtered"

That is, if I run a pihole filter in my network, how can my browser use
a reporting service without me needing to hack the browser for it, or
be forced to use quad(1,8,9) for DNS resolving to get decent error reporting?

If I run my resolver on 192.168.13.13, why can't extended errors be
defined to be at https://192.168.13.13/dns-filter-error/qname/

The extended errors would come from the same source as the query, so
either both are untrusted or both are trusted.

That is, I strongly prefer a method that people can rollout that does
not depend on a "golden list" added to browsers based on some IANA
registry (and bags of money for certain business models)
